+bpftool-map
+================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+tool for inspection and simple manipulation of eBPF maps
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+:Manual section: 8
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+ **bpftool** **map** *COMMAND*
+
+ *COMMANDS* :=
+ { show | dump | update | lookup | getnext | delete | pin | help }
+
+MAP COMMANDS
+=============
+
+| **bpftool** map show [*MAP*]
+| **bpftool** map dump *MAP*
+| **bpftool** map update *MAP* key *BYTES* value *VALUE* [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
+| **bpftool** map lookup *MAP* key *BYTES*
+| **bpftool** map getnext *MAP* [key *BYTES*]
+| **bpftool** map delete *MAP* key *BYTES*
+| **bpftool** map pin *MAP* *FILE*
+| **bpftool** map help
+|
+| *MAP* := { id MAP_ID | pinned FILE }
+| *VALUE* := { BYTES | MAP | PROGRAM }
+| *UPDATE_FLAGS* := { any | exist | noexist }
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool map show** [*MAP*]
+ Show information about loaded maps. If *MAP* is specified
+ show information only about given map, otherwise list all
+ maps currently loaded on the system.
+
+ Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
+ zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+
+ **bpftool map dump** *MAP*
+ Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.
+
+ **bpftool map update** *MAP* **key** *BYTES* **value** *VALUE* [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
+ Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
+
+ *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
+ or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
+ exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
+
+ **bpftool map lookup** *MAP* **key** *BYTES*
+ Lookup **key** in the map.
+
+ **bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *BYTES*]
+ Get next key. If *key* is not specified, get first key.
+
+ **bpftool map delete** *MAP* **key** *BYTES*
+ Remove entry from the map.
+
+ **bpftool map pin** *MAP* *FILE*
+ Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
+
+ Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
+
+ **bpftool map help**
+ Print short help message.
+
+EXAMPLES

+| **bpftool** prog help
+|
+| *PROG* := { id *PROG_ID* | pinned *FILE* | tag *PROG_TAG* }
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool prog show** [*PROG*]
+ Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
+ specified show information only about given program, otherwise
+ list all programs currently loaded on the system.
+
+ Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
+ zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+
+ **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* **file** *FILE*
+ Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel to a
+ file.
+
+ **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [**file** *FILE*] [**opcodes**]
+ Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
+ If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
+ otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
+
+ **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
+
+ **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
+ Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
+
+ Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
+
+ **bpftool prog help**
+ Print short help message.

+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ *bpftool* allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects
+ on the system.
+
+ Note that format of the output of all tools is not guaranteed to be
